They do require a lower basking temp, this helps keep them from producing to many eggs. I do not know what a good basking temp is but do know its not as high as a males.
So maybe something in the low 80's should do. But I will keep in mind that high temps allows them to produce more eggs. Just as another question, high temps won't be bad for her, like it won't burn her but it will lower her life span because of more eggs
The care sheets say a female adult veiled should have a basking temp of 85F. So low to mid 80s would be fine in my opinion.
Ok, right now I keep my juvenile male at 85-90 and I will set up my female cage for 80-83ish
I would do what ever you can to keep the egg count down. That could be the difference for your female living only 3 years or up to 5 years.
My male is doing great! He has tripled his weight in just one month.(6g to 18g) I figured before I was going to take him to the vet I would try something. I boosted the amount of feeders I gave him, and also the size of them. Right now I have 1000 silkworm eggs that are slowly hatching, crickets, phenoix worms, the odd mealworm(soon going to buy supers instead) and fruit flies
Ok will do when my female comes in, thanks for the help
